About to install a full steering setup, is Loctite required?

[James Cole]

Hello Guys...

I am about to install:

-Trackbar
-Draglink
-Tie Rod
- Steering Stabilizer (Falcon 2.2 JK)
-Lower Control Arms

Is Loctite needed in any of these and what colour should I use?

Thanks a bunch and will report improvements if there are any.

If you can specify what product you are using it will help. For example, on all the adjuster sleeves of the steersmarts stuff I used anti-sieze instead of locktite. I didn’t use locktite at all on the ends but did torque them down correctly.

Hope you own a pickle fork, without it I would have had a bad time separating the joint at the pitman arm. That sucker was tough even with the correct tool!
